    EXTREMELY SLOW TERRIBLE

    tashaskin - 2 months ago
    I really do not understand how this has 4-5 starts from anyone. I was excited to give this a try going from reading paperback books. Anytime I try to use it, it's EXTREMELY slow and glitching. I am trying to purchase my first ever book and it won't even let me checkout because it keeps glitching and going to a white screen. Extremely dissappointed, waste of money. Can't even use it. I have had it for 2 months and this is 1st time trying to read a book and I can't because it won't work. Avoid at all costs.

    Hello tashaskin! Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on your experience. If this is your first eReader device, the difference between this and a tablet or mobile device can be an adjustment as these devices do in fact run a little slower than one of those to maintain a very light weight when reading and due to the different technologies. That being said, it should definitely not be glitching out as you stated when attempting to make a purchase or read a book. We would love the opportunity to try to troubleshoot with you further to see if we can get you enjoying your new Paperwhite as these are widely loved and adored by most avid readers. Feel free to reach out to us at 888.280.4331 for us to see what we can do to assist and to explore what options are available to you. Thanks again for your provided feedback and I do hope you have a fantastic day!

    I have been wanting a kindle for a long time. I love my new kindle. It’s super handy to have for reading. My only concern to my transaction was that I had a visa gift card I won and was wanting to apply it to the purchase as my reward, but target was unable to split the payment for me to use the gift card. Was a little annoying, but I’m happy with the kindle.

    Don't like how it glitches and it's slow but I like how you can read outside in the sun it has it's pros and cons but it's not worth for the money
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 4 months ago
    Hello, Na. I am sorry to hear about your issue with the Kindle Paperwhite. I recommend restarting your Kindle to resolve intermittent problems such as a frozen screen or slow performance. 1. Press and hold the power button until either a power dialog box appears or the screen goes blank. 2. Continue holding the power button for 40 seconds, then release. If these steps do not help, and you are still having functionality issues you can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information is helpful, thank you!

    Randi - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Bought in October, the battery died fully and it will no longer turn on. It’s been less than a year. I’ve tried everything I can find online.
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 4 months ago
    Hello Randi! I am terribly sorry that your device is no longer functioning for you. I would recommend checking that your cord, adapter, and charging port are free from damage. Then if after having it plugged in for more than 30 minutes does not bring it back on, then you can try pressing and holding the power button for a full 30 second count. If this is still unresponsive after that, I would reach out to Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting and to discuss what other options are available to you. I hope we are able to get you back to enjoying your Kindle and that you have a fantastic day!

    Very slow product. It glitches every time you touch the screen.
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 5 months ago
    Hello Kindle paperwhite! I am sorry that you are experiencing slow and glitching responses to your taps on your Kindle. While it is an eReader with eInk technology and does respond slower than a standard tablet would, it should not be glitching or be so tremendously slow as to disrupt your experience. I would try power cycling it by pressing and holding the power button for 10-30 seconds. This will restart your device and most slowdown issues are resolved by this. If this does not help then you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting assistance. I hope this helps improve your experience and that you have an amazing day!

    A little annoyed that it was not disclosed that this version has lock screen adds, I would’ve paid extra to get the one with no adds.

    My husband bought this kindle for me during the mother's day weekend deal, and I've fallen in love! It makes it so easy to read, the back light is so convenient for reading at night! I have never had a kindle e ink reader so I was a little hesitant. If you're hesitant to buy it, just do it! You won't regret it! The only think I'd say I'd a down side is that it lags during setup.

    I’ve heard so many good things about the kindle so I got one to try it out. I didn’t even use it for 30 minutes before I decided it was the worst purchase ever. It’s extremely slow and I can’t stand the blinking and flashing the screen does every time you touch it. I understand that’s how most e-readers work but my god it was so frustrating. I’ll stick to my iPad.

    This is absolutely perfect. I love everything about it. The size is nice as well as the price. It also lights up so I can read in bed at bedtime, I thought only the paper white did that, but no, this updated basic kindle lights up just fine in the dark. Also, I found out that the basic kindles screen helps make the words more crisp than other kindle versions. That was a selling point for me. No complaints at all, only love!
